The Good Stuff
Fresh Seafood
Seafood and fish dishes are repeatedly praised, with seabass, oysters, tuna tartare and lobster among the standouts.
Business Lunch
The business lunch is described as fresh, well presented and relaxed enough for meetings without rushing.
Sunset Setting
Outdoor dining, gentle music and the creek breeze create a calm setting for dates, long lunches and conversation.
Italian Oven
Pizza is singled out as a promising choice, with an Italian oven mentioned by a returning diner.
Quiet Atmosphere
Light background music and the waterfront setting make it easier to talk during business meals or dinners.
Tips for a Better Visit
Go Sunset. Aim for sunset if the view is a priority; diners specifically recommend the golden hour over the creek.
Reserve Outside. Book outdoor seating ahead of time if you want the waterfront experience, as outside tables have filled up.
Confirm Offers. Reconfirm Entertainer acceptance and its terms before booking; one diner received conflicting information on arrival.
Check Timing. If courses are arriving slowly, follow up early and check the bill for canceled or missing items before paying.
Try Pizza. Pizza is worth considering because a reviewer identified the Italian oven as a highlight of the menu.

The Bottom Line
Boardwalk is a Mediterranean restaurant in Port Saeed built around a waterside dining experience. The outdoor terrace looks over Dubai Creek, yachts and, from some seats, the Burj Khalifa; sunset is the moment reviewers return for. It suits a date, a long lunch or a business conversation because the music is generally light and the atmosphere relaxed rather than hurried.
Food-wise, seafood is the clearest draw. Reviews mention well-cooked seabass, fresh burrata, light calamari, oysters, tuna tartare and lobster. The business lunch also gets consistent attention: diners describe a three-course format with sensible portions, including dishes such as chicory salad, sea bass and fresh fruit.
Pizza is another useful option, with an Italian oven singled out by one reviewer, while tiramisu is a recurring dessert favourite. There is some inconsistency behind the polished setting. Diners have reported waits before ordering, dishes arriving together or not arriving at all, and an octopus omission handled without an apology.
One guest also found the mussels pasta too garlicky and another found the fish and chips greasy. Reserve outdoor seating in advance, especially for sunset, and reconfirm any Entertainer terms before you go.
